Cidco’s eviction action conducted more than a week ago removed a container and 13 cows. Cidco removing an illegal cowshed constructed in Kharghar has created a political stir. A family staying in the container was handling the cows.
A Cidco controller of unauthorised construction (CUC) section official said, “The action was taken against the cowshed. A BJP corporator of the Panvel City Municipal Corporation, Shatrughn Kakade, said, “The cowshed has been on our family-owned land for the last few years. However, there were a few cows and the family has been staying in the container. Many turned up to the cowshed for worship. The CUC department didn’t serve any notice to us but acted. The cows are currently settled there but were disturbed.
He added, “The Cidco action issue was raised during the meeting held on Friday between the revenue minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule and Cidco, Raigad district collector among other officials.
The Kakade family claimed to have been doing various activities on the said plot for more than a decade. However, the Cidco action has upset their political might in the area, escalating the difference of opinion with the MLA faction.
